August is in full bloom and what better time to visit with Aaron Summers, Director of the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens, and learn all about our very own "oasis on the high plains"!
A few highlights from our conversation:
🌸 The Gardens span 10 acres and include an indoor conservatory plus a Children's Garden, right in the heart of Lions Park.
🏛️ The three-story conservatory opened in 2017, and 2027 will mark the Gardens' 50th anniversary!
🌱 Their EAT Garden (Education, Agriculture, and Trial) sits on the old reservoir site downtown and is all about proving that Wyoming's tough climate is an opportunity for growing innovation, not a barrier.
🎉 There's always something going on, from summer sq**rt gun fights and the Heirlooms & Blooms Artist Market, to Día de los Mu***os and the Conservatory of Lights during the holidays.
Whether you're a longtime local or new to Cheyenne, the Botanic Gardens are a must-visit. Learn more and plan your trip at botanic.org!
Thank you, Aaron, for sharing all the ways the Gardens bring life and color to our community. 💚
Watch the full episode below, and if you know a local business or organization that should be featured next, send them my way!
Be kind, and let your light shine.
